Su Mu was stunned for a long time, and finally put the copper coins away under Lin Mo's smiling gaze.
To Lin Mo, this amount of money was not much, but to Su Mu, it was a huge income. He never had more than ten copper coins on him, not even enough to buy a gift for Lin Mo.
Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn't help but touch the heavy copper coins in his arms again. He would work harder to make money and save more. In addition to buying better gifts for Lin Mo, he could also buy some things for Brother Sheng and the others.
The two of them were talking as if no one was around. Passersby glanced at them and walked away, but Su Yunqiu, who had just bought something, was watching with gritted teeth.
She tried to interrupt several times but couldn't, and could only watch Lin Mo and Su Mu being so affectionate with each other with hatred. When she thought about Lin Mo giving all his money to Su Mu, she felt even more regretful and her heart ached.
Although the Wang family's business in the town was good, Wang Er only helped to look after the shop. The old lady and old man of the Wang family were still the ones who made the decisions. All the money in the family had to be handed over to Zhonggong.
Every month, the two elders set a limit on Wang Er's expenses, and the money they gave was only enough for their daily living.
When she returned to her parents' home this time, the Wang family bought her two sets of brocade clothes just to save face.
But she was not given a single copper coin, so if she had any expenses, she could only ask Wang Erzhi for money.
But buying these baskets just now was just a sudden idea for her, so the money she spent was her own pocket money.
"Let's go to the market early and see if there's anything we want to buy."
Lin Mo put away the square cloth spread on the ground and walked past Su Yunqiu's gloomy face, holding Su Mu's hand.
The weather is nice today and the sun is getting bigger and bigger. Although they sell their things quickly, they have been at the stall for a long time and are already feeling hot and sweaty.
Su Mu was also feeling very hot, but he was in such a hurry when he went out that he forgot to bring water.
"Lin Mo, why don't we go back? We can go back and have some water."
"Let's take a walk first. I haven't been to the market yet, and I'm a little hungry. Do you know where I can find something to eat?"
Lin Mo glanced at the stalls on both sides. Since they were close to the village, most of the people coming and going were villagers.
Most of the items on sale were dry goods, and for a moment Lin Mo didn't see any food for sale.
Su Mu nodded and led Lin Mo forward. "The village entrance is different from the town. There are almost no freshly prepared foods for sale. They only sell dried mushrooms, grains, or pork and tofu. There are two food stalls in front."
One is a wonton stall and the other is a Yangchun noodle stall. The two stalls are next to each other and have two tables.
Those who had no place to sit squatted in the open space at the back with their bowls.
Su Mu licked his lips and said, "There's also herbal tea for sale here. We can have some."
"Is there any food for sale here?"
"Yes, because this small market is usually only visited by people from our village and the neighboring village. People in the village are reluctant to spend money to eat here, so only the neighboring village will eat some, so this is the only place with food."
Lin Mo understood this very well. The village was close by, so if he was hungry he could just go home and eat.
People from the next village will also eat their fill before coming to the market, and only a few greedy people are willing to spend money to satisfy their appetite.
As soon as they saw an empty seat, they sat down. Su Mu was delighted. He said excitedly, "This is my first time eating at the market. Lin Mo, whatever you want to eat, I'll pay for it."
Lin Mo was infected by his joy and immediately ordered two large bowls of wontons and two bowls of herbal tea.
A bowl of wontons cost eight cents, and a bowl of cold tea cost one cent. This meal for two people cost Su Mu eighteen cents.
While waiting, Su Mu was very excited. Lin Mo was used to observing Su Mu, so he could see it at a glance.
Seeing Lin Mo staring at him, Su Mu felt a little embarrassed, and then he murmured softly: "My mother said that eating at the market is like giving money to others for free, and it's the same in town.
So, this is the first time I paid for food at a stall, you... don't laugh at me."
"I just think you're so cute that I can't help but stare at you, not make fun of you."
The two of them sat on a long bench, and their breath sprayed on each other's faces while they were talking. Su Mu blushed immediately.
Fortunately, the wontons were served at this time, diverting his attention.
The wonton skin is yellow, and it is obviously made of coarse grain flour, but it tastes very fragrant and is sprinkled with green chopped green onions.
The soup was glossy and not very attractive in color, but it tasted refreshing and sweet, and the portion was generous enough.
Lin Mo ate one wonton at a time, and his mouth was filled with joy as the soup and wontons were served. The wontons were still quite hot when they were just out of the pot, and they tasted unique when paired with cold tea.
Turning around, he saw Su Mu was also sweating from eating. He picked up a small leaf and slowly fanned himself with it.
"Don't look at me, eat slowly, I'll wait for you."
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Mo's finished bowl, then looking at his own half-eaten wonton, and couldn't help but speed up.
There was very little meat in the wontons, and there was almost no meat flavor, but Su Mu ate it very happily. With every bite, his beautiful eyes became brighter.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder what kind of wonton filling to make in the evening.
He was sure that what he made would be tastier than the current one, and Su Mu would definitely like it.
The sun gradually rose higher, and people who were exposed to the sun could hardly open their eyes. The feeling of sweating was also very uncomfortable.
Lin Mo took Su Mu for a walk and bought some bath beans and soap beans, as well as fresh pork and tofu.
During this period, while his family was building a house, Lin Sheng placed long-term orders for pork and tofu in the village.
So Lin Mo didn't have to pay when he cut the meat, it would all be recorded in today's account, and Lin Sheng would settle with them once in a while.
On the way home, Su Mu couldn't help but say: "You shouldn't spend money to buy these bath beans and soap nuts. If I had known you wanted them, I would have gone to the mountains to pick them for you."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "I bought it just because I didn't want you to go to the mountains to pick it up. You know I don't want you to do these things, but you always go to the mountains to make trouble. It seems that I have to take you to the town as soon as possible, otherwise you will pluck the mountain bare."
Su Mu's face flushed with shame, and she said unhappily, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
"The shop in town is almost finished being renovated. I'll take Lao Gu to the village this afternoon to sign up and have him help out in the village. We'll go to town tomorrow."
"The two of us?"
"Yes, let's go first. After the decoration is completed, there are still some preparatory work to do."
Su Mu nodded. He didn't understand anything about the shop, but he would do whatever Lin Mo asked him to do.
Lin Mo bought soap beans because he actually wanted to try making soap. Although his family now has some surplus money and can afford the Poria cocos powder in town, it is not very durable.
During this period of training, we always had to come into contact with water when killing and cleaning fish, and sometimes the grease on our hands could not be washed off thoroughly. We will have to do this every day in the shop in the future.
He wanted to get some simple soaps out as soon as possible, and then some hand ointment.
Not only is it convenient for employees to use, they can also use it themselves.
